Changing Tires
Afternoon Everyone
First and foremost, I know that I can get a set of tires changed at the dealership! However, at $95+ a wheel is IMHO a bit much for mounting and road force balancing. Paying that GM premium, I guess. Does anyone know of any brick/mortar national chain tire shop that uses the touchless tire changer and road force balancing equipment. Or any members in northern VA, who can recommend a reputable establishment. Thanks in advance! NTB - Doesn't Goodyear - Doesn't Firestone - Doesn't |

For tasks like these, I usually seek out a local custom stereo/wheel shop that does high end cars and talk to them about it. They usually deal in low profile/big/expensive wheels and tires daily and know what it takes to work with them and what customers expect.

That’s what I dread when it comes time to put new tires on my ZL1 and it maybe in the summer!

I called Hunter which is a touch-less tire machine manufacturer and asked them for a business in my area that uses their tire machine.

Discount tire has been a great and i wont go anywhere else. best pricing (they will price match if you find it better). they lifted the car manually with 4 jacks simultaneously on the correct lift points just 10 feet away from me in the shop window. the manager understood my concerns and walked the car with me each time and we checked the wheels pre/post for any damage. they have the latest equipment from my understanding and i trusted they would take care of any issues if something did occur.

Discount tire is a good chain and I've used them a few times.
I'd say call another dealer if you want them to do this. My dealer charged me only $52, total, to change the tires on my ZL1. |

Another vote for discount tire. It's a big chain, but our new one in town has the service of a 100 year old family business. They're awesome and will take car of your girl.
Not to mention good prices already and a 0% for 12 months credit card. |

sadly, around here, the dealership is about the only place that has the equipment and fellas that care enough. It costs, sure, but I trust the guys at my dealership. I tried ntb. lets just say I'll never go back to another ntb, ever.
